A PMR/ GCA UK Station Announcement ! The Dec 17 Service from Platform Aunty Bee going to Travel Tips with request stops at Planes , Trains , Boats and Automobiles has been suspended until Dec 18 because of trouble with vision on the line.

Yes , Aunty Bees train has broken down today , not because of leaves on the line or a faulty piston at the rear but because of a freak bauble chasing incident!

So , she is sitting humbly on the sofa , the festive scent of Vicks Vapour Rub emitting from her Gryffyndor stripe Headache Sock , looking like a badly behaved and weary House Elf . There's a new lesson I have learnt today to add to my tick list of Festive Pacing and that is ...

Do not try to become a fielder in a game of cricket between You and your Christmas Tree . It will all end in menthol scented tears....

Trying to grab baubles before they fall to the floor , in a speedy rescue mission , is the equivalent of that thing we often do when we try to pull on our socks then reach up to quickly , or trying to stop a dropped and drippy kitchen spoon from falling to the floor . I thought I'd been very clever for a while now finding all those Back , Neck , Head and Groin triggers but just goes to show the Festive Season comes along and shows you a very new and novel way that you can do yourself an injury from doing what used to come Naturally.

So Migraine sock and a heat pad , but the eyes are a little Bleary so I will just give you the answer to yesterday's Quiz and then nurse my wounded pride . Blooming Bauble!

( In fact , the Bauble annoyed me so much I couldn't keep my eyes off it all afternoon , my Paddington Bear hard Stare wasn't working , and is hard to maintain with a migraine . Finally , I could not contain my contempt any longer , the 'Bauble of Doom' got its punishment , no longer left to taunt me from the Christmas Tree I have got my revenge and put it back in its box. Small pleasures.)

So the quiz Answer , and very worthy winner.

Everybody got the Capital City right , we clearly have an intelligent and well travelled Forum, however, we could all see whom was an out an out winner very Early On , with a really interested potted history of the Metro itself .

The Most Beautiful Metro in the World is in .... Moscow , Russia.

The winner whom also named the correct Metro Station , the Komsomolskaya Station , was....

Piglette πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸš‚πŸ™†πŸŽ„πŸš‚

🌟If you have chance , look at the Dec 16 post replies and read what she knew about it , amazing story about the Brits that worked on it 🌟

Or , if you are interested in seeing some more beautiful photos and an article on the the Most Beautiful Metro in the World , you can find many of them on those wonderful travel websites that feed our wanderlust all year round , even when we don't feel well enough because of our Pains to get out of the chair .

Thank you , as ever , for taking the time to read the posts and take part , I hope you are enjoying this bit of Festive Therapy as much as Me.

Take care all , and try not to get bowled over by a rogue Bauble , just when you thought you were getting things right!

Choo, Choo , all aboard the PMR / GCA Santa Express , travel tip line will be up and running again tomorrow .

Hugs , Aunty Bee xx

Oh , thank you SJ , you too , we are both nursing our heads at the moment aren't we .

Although I bet you don't look as silly as I do and wear a headache sock around your head while you are doing it.

The ' Bin of Doom' and now a ' Bauble of Doom' , I seem to live in the House of Cursed Objects , big hugs xxx

Yes , there are many reasons it's affectionately known as ' The Asylum' and not just that it's a place that people come to hide from the stress of Christmas!πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh my word, and I think I’m accident prone! I hope you recover quickly, and I will consider β€˜bauble hanging’ a dangerous sport from now on! Take care, please, S x PS well done, Piglette! Now adding Moscow metro to travel list!

I know , if you look over the photos of the different stations you could just spend a weekend having a holiday in the Moscow metro alone.

Bauble hanging an extreme sport!πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Yes , maybe in this house , that's the loss of coordination I get with the GCA and POTS , better hadn't trust me with the best China if I visit your house!πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’m not trusted with carrying food...ever since I started with fibromyalgia I’ve been inclined to falling and losing balance and once I started chucking full plates of food around the house....! Now I find if I bend I need to come upwards exceedingly slowly or.. and I can’t bend down in the mornings some days or the room spins! Wouldn’t mind if I’d had some alcohol! Rest assured we no longer have β€˜best China’..but you’d be welcome even if we did!

Yes, I usually do as my Tachycardia involves changes with moving to quickly , it makes me dizzy and causes the headaches . It is funny that you get used to doing things safely with routine things ( after a few mishaps) but when something uncommon happens your body and brain reacts on old instincts .

At least I didn't pop a joint out ! I also have Ehlers Danlos so it's known to happen !πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Um...feeling ignorant...off to google Ehlers Danlos! Take lots of water and rest today, please.

That automatic reaction to grab a falling item gets me every time and with the pmr dropsies occurs frequently. My latest pain came from cutting my toenails. Natural and easy, right? Wrong. Dominant back pain is no longer thoracic but lower. As others have said, what will be next? Didn’t have a clue as to the location in your pic, but found that some have enjoyed traveling as much as I have, a pleasure we share or shared. Thx for the daily picker uppers. πŸ€—

Yes , the nail clipping thing is like putting on socks but worse , especially if you have long legs like me , a pedicure is like a Jane Fonda Workout!

Can't wait to feel well enough to visit Moscow again , a fabulous city xx
